If you had to nominate a slate of Master Beef Breeders who would they be and why would you nominate them? A few requirements:
1. They must still be living
2. They must have made a career of breeding registered cattle of any breed
3. Their breeding program must have contributed significantly to their breed of choice

The "still living" qualification eliminates most of the people I'd consider to be Master Hereford Breeders. For instance, Louis Latimer recently passed away. But under your rules, these immediately come to mind: Guy Colyer Dale and Mary Barber Kevin Schultz Dale Venhuizen Montie Soules George |

Geez Goerge, you got the Remital plug in, but you forgot to mention Frank. Yeah...and Jack Cooper, Les Holden, Charles Gudgell, T. A. Simpson and a lot of others... I mentioned Louis Latimer, specifically, because he just passed away on December 21st. After thinking about it for a bit, I'd add these three to the list, even though they inherited the foundation: Mark Cooper Jack Holden Brent Meeks George |

John Holden, Charles Gray, Billy Ashe, Phil Ellis, Frank Kubik, Vern Sanders, Mike McNeil, Glen Klippenstein. I think I will keep adding to this as I remember them. I forgot the "why" part...all of these menare very knowlegdeable and more importantly, very helpfull to anyone who seeks their input. I know this because I have visited with most of them and they go out of their way to be helpfull. They have all had major impacts on the Hereford breed through the cattle they have bred. They have all been recognized by their peers in various ways forthe contributions they have made to the beef industry.http://www.northdakotacowboy.com/Hall_of_Fame/Ranching/kubik_frank.asp

Frank Kubik Jr
2001 Hall of Fame Ranching Inductee
Frank Kubik Jr
Frank Kubik Jr. was born near Dickinson on June 8, 1917, a son of Frank Sr. and Anna (Kralicek) Kubik. He attended rural school in Dunn County, graduating from Dickinson’s Model High School in 1937. He earned a standard teaching certificate and taught school for two years.
On September 22, 1939, Frank married Doris Zander of Dickinson, and they had three children. In 1942, Frank purchased a ranch southwest of Manning. He bought his first eight registered Polled Hereford cattle from his father, eventually increasing his herd to 300.
In 1956, Frank began keeping extensive production records including precise birth and weaning weights. He hosted the first performance-tested Polled Hereford bull sale in the United States on March 13, 1958. Through the years, Frank sold cattle across the United States and into Canada, South Africa and South America.
In 1972, Kubiks bought a majority of the Havre Line 1 Polled King Domino cattle sold at the North Montana Agricultural Research Center dispersion. Thus, Kubik Polled Herefords became the largest source of “Line-Bred Polled Herefords” in the U.S. Under the supervision of the North Dakota Beef Cattle Improvement Association (NDBCIA), Frank produced two certified meat sires. In 1978, he had an American Polled Hereford Association Gold Seal Sire.
Frank served his community and industry as a 4-H leader, NDBCIA president and Dunn County Agriculture Association president. He received conservation awards in 1950, 1960 and 1970. He was the 1974 NDBCIA Seedstock Producer of the Year and the outstanding seedstock producer in the nation in 1975. Dickinson State University recognized Kubik with the Alumni Chief Award in 1981 for “distinguished professional and unselfish services.”
The Kubiks sold their ranch to the state of North Dakota in 1980 and they moved to Dickinson in 1980. The NDSU Dickinson Experiment Station uses it as a livestock research center.
